Chapter 81 - 80: Would You Like a Small Cushion_1

“Heard that? 5%! Are you two not getting out of here yet?”

After hearing this number, Zade Radcliffe spoke somewhat disappointedly, “Otis, for goodness’ sake, you’re the general manager of the Radcliffe Group. A

5% drop scares you like that? How can Grandpa trust to groom you?” Seeing the extremely shocked expressions of the two, he thought the drop was

severe.

He hadn’t expected it to be only five percentage points, which somewhat disappointed him.

In Zade Radcliffe’s view, all these big shots entering the market were aiming to crush the Radcliffe Group.

But looking at the current situation, it seemed a bit of an overblown thunderstorm — loud but little rain.

Many people on the outside were watching this event, and according to Stanislaus Potter’s character, he would surely handle it beautifully!

“Grandpa… it’s a 5% increase!”

Otis took a deep breath, still unable to recover from his shock.

During this period, he even checked his phone to confirm with his friends, but the results were the same as displayed on the computer.

The Radcliffe Group’s stock price had rapidly risen in a short period.

“What!”

Zade Radcliffe was first stunned, then quickly walked up to Otis.

“What’s going on!”

Looking at the soaring stock prices, he for the very first time believed he was seeing things.

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”

The words he had prepared to taunt Quella Radcliffe were all stuck in his chest.

The sheer discrepancy was something he just couldn’t accept.

“There’s a problem! There must be a problem!”

Zade Radcliffe took a deep breath and pulled out his phone to make a call.

“Mr. Leopold, check the Radcliffe Group’s stocks for me. What exactly is happening right now?”

He directly put the call on speaker, allowing everyone to hear clearly.

The vast conference room was dead silent.

“Mr. Radcliffe, what’s there to look at! Golden Eagle Group has made its move; you think you can dodge it? If I were you… Holy smokes! What’s going on!”

A cry of surprise suddenly came from the phone: “Mr. Radcliffe, you’re amazing! The stock price actually surged instead of falling! If this gets out, it’s definitely going to be explosive news! Congratulations!”

Hearing the other party’s words, Zade Radcliffe’s face became extremely unsightly.

He was no longer the chairman of the Radcliffe Group; what he needed was for the Radcliffe Group’s stock price to fall!

“How ironic.”

Just then, Julius Reed clapped his hands and said, “The group’s stock has risen, and yet, the founder sits there as if he’s at a funeral.”

“You…”

Zade Radcliffe felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He took a deep breath, trying his best to remain calm, “Mr. Leopold, can you check what’s going on for me?” He couldn’t think of any reason.

The weak Radcliffe Group, facing this business war, had nothing but a dead end. As he had just said, half of Five-river Province would join the fray. How could they possibly survive?

“My goodness! Titan Group has thrown in five billion in half an hour! Ovidiu Cook is really going head-to-head with Stanislaus Potter! Mr. Radcliffe, what’s your relationship with Ovidiu Cook that he’s going so far to protect you!”

A sinking feeling hit Zade Radcliffe; he hadn’t expected Ovidiu Cook to go this far!

“It’s fine now! Thank you, Mr. Leopold!”

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he hung up the phone. The conference room was quiet, everyone’s face full of shock.

“Old master, why don’t you return to your seat?”

Julius Reed gave a faint smile and gestured towards the small stool with a gesture of invitation.

“Don’t get too smug! Titan Group’s liquid funds won’t exceed ten billion. By doing this, they’re only going to infuriate Golden Eagle Group! Soon, not only you, but even Ovidiu Cook will go bankrupt with you!”

Faced with such provocation, Zade Radcliffe trembled with rage, feeling like his lungs would explode!

But he had to endure it, endure until Quella Radcliffe was out of the game!

“I’m so sorry to have disappointed you, old master. Is the stool comfortable to sit on? How about I have someone fetch you a cushion?”

Julius Reed said quite understandingly.

Yet, when these words reached each person’s ears, they felt like they were laced with thorns.

“What’s happening?”

Quella Radcliffe silently took out her phone and typed out these characters on the screen.

When Zade Radcliffe had come over, Quella Radcliffe had prepared herself to stand up and accept the humiliation, but who knew the script would flip this drastically!

Titan Group actually threw in fifty billion at such a time!

What did this represent? It meant that Ovidiu Cook had completely fallen out with Stanislaus Potter and officially joined the battlefield!

She couldn’t figure out why the richest man of Gonzalez City would bet all his wealth to protect the Radcliffe Group with his life! “Because that new CEO is me.”

Julius Reed also took out his phone and sent a reply.

After reading the message, Quella Radcliffe gave him a white look. If her husband really were the CEO of Titan Group, why would she be here taking this nonsense?

Compared to Titan Group, Radcliffe Group was insignificant.

The atmosphere was dead silent, Otis Radcliffe clung to his computer, awaiting the results that would follow.

Just as Zade Radcliffe had said, with Stanislaus Potter’s hateful personality, he was sure to hit someone when they’re down.

Unless three Titan Groups intervened at the same time, there was barely a chance to withstand this blow!

However, this news spread like a tornado throughout Five-river Province.

Everyone knew early on that Stanislaus Potter was going to teach Radcliffe Group a lesson, but no one cared.

Does anyone expect any surprises when an elephant steps on an ant? They only needed to see the final result, to see just how badly this ant would die.

But unknown to them, it was first discovered that under the fierce pressure from Golden Eagle Group, the stock price of Radcliffe Group actually rebounded!

And it rose by five percentage points!

This was simply impossible!

Five-river Province, Golden Eagle Group.

Stanislaus Potter was leisurely leaning back in his executive chair, drinking tea.

An hour ago, his plan had officially commenced. And within this short hour, many well-known figures of Five-river Province had been calling him, expressing their willingness to contribute.

These people did indeed put their words into action, and within an hour, more than a dozen companies had joined this war without smoke.

Although Julius Reed taking charge at Titan Group took him by surprise, based on his understanding of Ovidiu Cook, the wealthiest man of Gonzalez City wouldn’t possibly gamble with his future as a joke.

To utterly deter Titan Group, Stanislaus Potter struck with the force of thunder!

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

There came a knock on the door.

“Come in!”

Placing his teacup on the desk, Stanislaus Potter looked at the secretary who walked in and asked with a smile, “How did it go? The Radcliffe Group should have collapsed by now, right? If I’m not wrong, Ovidiu Cook would definitely not have dared to make a move.”

He wore the look of someone holding a winning ticket. With half of Five-river Province acting simultaneously, although many were just putting on a show of force, who would dare to offend them?

They all mixed in the same circles, seeing each other heads up and heads down; no one would want to court this kind of trouble.

“Boss… the result is somewhat unexpected.”

The secretary’s expression was somewhat grim; she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Stanislaus Potter.

“Ovidiu Cook made a move, and a big one at that…”

“What!”

Stanislaus Potter’s expression changed slightly; he snatched the report, his face full of disbelief.

“Ovidiu Cook has gone mad! He just poured in fifty billion!”

As he recovered from the shock, his expression gradually turned to anger.

“Notify Manager Ridge right away, double the funds! Since he dares go against me, don’t blame me for sending you to hell!”

His fists were clenched tight, as if flames were burning in his eyes..
